It has been half a month since he left Broken Soul Ridge, but the roads in the mountains are complicated, and even people like Dongfang Ziyan have lost their way, but after a lot of effort, he finally walked out of the star-moon mountains, and so far, Dongfang Ziyan has really left the territory of the Hongjun Empire and came to the outer regions of the west.

Since ancient times, many vassal countries in the western outer regions have been in constant friction with the Hongjun Empire because of the problem of territorial division, and many relations were once very tense, and there have been many wars between larger countries like Yaslan and Ghost Moon and Inurong, which are little known, but Dongfang Ziyan has just arrived in an unknown country, because it is too small, so small that it is almost a city, but it is a strong and self-sufficient country, its name has only been seen in books before, it is called [Independent City].

Independence City is located in the eastern part of the ancient vein of Kunlun, that area is called "Bitter Cliff" by the locals, just like the Wind Erosion Wasteland Demon Realm in Dongyi, and it is also a barren land full of wind erosion highlands, but who would have thought that in the desolate wind and sand, there would be a solid city fortress hidden?

Bitter Cliff: No Man's Land

A team of twenty-seven men walked on the barren field with a large number of goods, the wind blew the sand and dirt, the tall black horses panted, and the masked white-clothed merchants sat in the carriages without saying a word, and the dust blinded their eyes.

Dongfang Ziyan was wearing white clothes and mingling in the horse team, at the moment he was sitting behind a carriage full of rice, his face was also covered with a white cloth, his black hair was scattered in the wind and sand, one foot supported his hands, and the other foot was floating under the car in a daze, the wheels were crushing against the uneven road and a small stone jumped up and hit his face, Dongfang Ziyan woke up from his stunned mind.

Two days ago, this merchant horse team came from the south to Independence City, just entered the bitter cliff and encountered a rare black storm, fortunately Dongfang Ziyan happened to meet, with the trick to let the horse team escape a catastrophe, the horse team's shopkeeper out of gratitude, so he took Dongfang Ziyan to Independence City together.

Although the speed of the horse team was a lot faster, it still took nearly five days for the complex terrain and harsh environment of the bitter cliff, and now, the carriage walking in front suddenly stopped, Dongfang Ziyan was driven by the abruptly stopped carriage and almost shook off the car, he looked up and looked around, the wind erosion cliff was gone, and the wind was much lighter: Independence City had arrived

"Brother Fushun, we have arrived, Independence City!" The shopkeeper of the horse team walked over from the front, took off his white veil as he approached, and his face was full of smiles, he was a thin middle-aged man with a mustache, and he walked towards Dongfang Ziyan and reached out to pull him.

Dongfang Ziyan smiled symbolically, stretched out his hand and was pulled down by him, and then landed firmly on the ground, he took a deep breath, and then looked at the independent city in the west direction behind him.

It was a tall, imposing city, with a huge Yellowstone wall twenty meters high, and the city gate was even taller, with two huge stone statues of giant gods holding shields embedded in the walls on both sides of the city gate, guarding the huge city gate. Looking at the momentum of this city gate building, it is no less than Chihong City, Dongfang Ziyan watched for a moment, just looking at this city gate, you can clearly see that the city's architect is a master, and every brick and tile reveals his superb architectural skills.

"It's finally here...... Dongfang Ziyan lowered his eyebrows, sighed and said, taking off the veil on his face.

"Ready to enter the city!" The shopkeeper waved to the men, and then the horse team roared towards the gates of Independence.

A quarter of an hour later, Dongfang Ziyan followed the merchants into the city, and soon after entering the city gate, Dongfang Ziyan was flashed to his eyes by a burst of golden brilliance, he rubbed his eyes, and found that the tall buildings in the city were actually made of gold, and what was even more surprising was that the city was basically full of high pavilions and pavilions, and there were no dwellings.

"Wow, that's too luxurious, isn't it, a house made of gold?" Dongfang Ziyan exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Fushun, haven't you heard of Independence City? This is the world's treasury! The shopkeeper said a little inexplicably.

"World...... World Vault?! Dongfang Ziyan's eyes widened.
